Another thing that came to mind: the fact that Solaris needs a primary partition to install on is a big problem in my view. I had set-up my disk so there were 3 logical partitions of about 15GB for operating systems (linux and I hoped OpenSolaris as well). Obviously, Solaris couldn't install and I am not keen on repartitioning my whole disk. Adding a new disk isn't a real option either since this is a laptop.
I know the install "folks" are working with others to eventually support installing Solaris in an extended partition. In the meantime, a program like PartitionMagic, gparted, qtparted, etc. can help you re-arrange your partitions (non-destructively, though you should BACKUP YOUR DATA FIRST). This a known issue, but one that didn't matter so much in the past, since, as others pointed out, Solaris is used to being the only one on the drive. -- "Less is only more where more is no good." --Frank Lloyd Wright Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
